Not to dunk on the article too much, but it's a little disheartening that a good portion of the text is devoted to people talking about how expensive changing schools to fit these clowns stupid ideas would be. Yeah I'm sure winging about the cost is a great look when talking about a school shooting.
There's also actual points like talking about logistics, the fact that the place has to function as a school rather than an impenetrable fortress, etc. but it takes until the last fucking paragraph for someone to say the obvious, and even then it sounds so toothless:
We’re just not going to the foundation of the issue. We’re just planting a Band-Aid solution
My point is that ideally journalists should just quote Ted Cruz verbatim and follow that with a large sequence of clown emojis and call it a day, instead of taking him seriously.

The public system is already cash strapped. And the 2019 bill that pushed similar ideas wasn't fully funded, so it just displaced the costs into the districts.
Any absurdist plan that further syphons money from education to some quixotic plan for bunker schools absolutely should be treated like one more effort to defund the system.

That's a good point. I think what bugged me is treating "it'll cost money tho" as a valid argument in and of itself
